Pioneered by Compound in DeFi Summer, yield farming above Ethereum has become a popular method for projects to launch their liquidity and acquire new users. However, towards the end, the added costs of this process become more and more severe for most people. In fact, Ethereum has become a whale game because the gas fees are so high!

The result is, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has experienced an exponential explosion in popularity and in this emerging ecosystem see a gap between the applications offered there compared to other chains like Ethereum. Specifically, one of the biggest missing pieces – is an on-chain leverage protocol!

Therefore, Alpaca Finance was born, seeking to provide value to the community BSC through leverage-based yield farming.

What is Alpaca Finance?

Functions and Highlights of Alpaca Finance

Alpaca Finance provides users with a leveraged protocol for liquidity mining. Essentially, the provision of liquidity is the fact that users deposit a portion of assets for trading pairs – and most of this asset is not consumed.

As a user, you can participate in Alpaca Finance in the following four ways:

Lender (Lender): Alpaca Finance allows you to use your capital to earn extra income by depositing them in your vault Alpaca Finance. These assets will then be made available to yield farmers to take advantage of their position.

Yield farmer (Farmer): As a farmer, you can earn more yield by opening a leveraged position on Alpaca Finance. Of course, this comes with greater risks: liquidation, loss, etc.

Bounty hunter : Call a contract to claim pending rewards and reinvest them back into the pool, getting part of the reward back.

Liquidator (Liquidator): Those who are responsible for liquidating LP assets when they become risky. When the parameters of strategy farming drop to the risk threshold, the liquidators will have to pay those positions to ensure the Lenders do not lose their capital, and they receive a reward of 5% on the liquidated amount.
